Abstract
A study of Ctenocephalides fells strongylus and of its effect on the performance of sheep and goats was made. Fleas showed more affinity for sheep than goats. There was a high concentration between lamb and kid mortality and the degree of flea infestation. The clinical effects of flea infestation are highlighted. The factors responsible for flea infestation and its control are discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
